Joe Joe Orangias is a visual artist whose practice intersects fine arts, design, and critical theory. Working through history, collaboration, and local material, the overarching goal of his work is to sustain, but also challenge, the cultural identities of certain places as they shift over time. His multi-media and writing projects propose equity by locating new contexts for social, economic, and environmental issues. Orangias holds an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University, and a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. His work has been exhibited at galleries and on-site in France, Germany, Hong Kong, Scotland, and USA. He was awarded the 2014 SMFA Traveling Fellowship to realize a project in New Zealand, an ASA Visual Arts Fellowship from the Hochschule f�r bildende K�nste Hamburg, where he worked with the Design for the Living World studio, and residencies at ART342 in Colorado, the New Territories: International Festival of Live Art in Glasgow, and Atelier OPA in Tokyo.
